We’re standing on the edge of the biggest turnover the trades have ever seen. 1 in 4 people in the trades are retiring.

This is the conversation we’ve needed in the trades for years. Workers are retiring, and owners are closing businesses, taking a world of experience with them. Who is remaining to pick up the torch?
